1. About name of the element and how it gots it name -Who discovered it? : Paul Emile Lecoq de Boisbaudran discovered this element in 1875. -How it named? : Latin 'Gallia' means Gaul, essentially modern France
← Paul Emile Lecoq de Boisbaudran. He discovered the Gallium.
2. Symbol / Atomic Number / Atomic Mass / Source of the Symbol -Symbol: 'Ga' -Atomic Number: 31 -Atomic Mass: 69.723g*g·mol-1 -Source of the Symbol: Solid
3. Number of Protons / Neutrons / Electrons
Number of Protons: 31
Number of Neutrons: 39
Number of Electrons: 31
4. Where its found and what form?
Place: Elemental Gallium is not from natural, but it is easily obtained by smelting.
Form: State of matter-soild
5. Physical Facts
Melting Point: 29.7464°C
Boiling Point: 2204°C
Density: 5.91*cm-3
Abundance in the Earth's crush: Approximate 0.0019% by weight.
6. Used -Used in semiconductor production, quartz thermometers, laser diodes and used to locate tumors. -Gallium wets glass or porcelain and forms a brilliant mirror when it is painted on glass. It is widely used in doping semiconductors and producing solid-state devices such as transistors.
7. Interesting Facts -This element's Melting Point is 29°C. And our body's temperature is 36.5°C. So if we put the Gallium on our hands, then it will be melted.
